Precompiled Binaries

Installing GodotXterm using precompiled binaries means that you won't be required to use a C/C++ compiler to build the project from source. It is simply a matter of copying files to the correct location in your project. These files can be installed from several sources.

:::{warning} Precompiled binaries will only work with certain versions of Godot (usually the current stable release). If you need binaries for a different or custom Godot version, or want to make modifications to the C/C++ code, please refer to the section on Building From Source. :::

Godot Asset Library

GodotXterm can be installed from the Godot Asset Library. See the {{ 'Godot Asset Library documentation'.format(godot_docs) }} for more info on how to use it.

Gd-plug Plugin Manager

If you are using the gd-plug plugin manager you can add the following line to your plug.gd file:

plug("lihop/godot-xterm-dist", {tag = "2.2.1", include = ["addons/godot_xterm"]})

Replace the tag with that of the GodotXterm version you wish to install (see tags). See the gd-plug documentation for more info on how to use it.

Manual Installation

Alternatively, GodotXterm can be installed manually in two steps:

  1. Copy the {{ 'addons/godot_xterm'.format(repo) }} directory to the addons directory of your Godot project.
  2. Copy the GDNative binaries into addons/godot_xterm/native/bin directory.

The easiest way to obtain the GDNative binaries is to download them from the Releases page. Download the zip archive named libgodot-xterm-release.zip and extract its contents into the /addons/godot_xterm/native/bin directory of your project. After this your addons/godot_xterm/native/bin directory should contain the following files:

  • libgodot-xterm.javascript.32.wasm
  • libgodot-xterm.linux.32.so
  • libgodot-xterm.linux.64.so
  • libgodot-xterm.osx.64.dylib
  • libgodot-xterm.windows.32.dll
  • libgodot-xterm.windows.64.dll

:::{note} Debug builds are also available on the Releases page if required. Download and unzip libgodot-xterm-debug.zip instead of libgodot-xterm-release.zip to the same location. :::
